ASUS And Acer Merger Rumor

ASUS And Acer Merger Rumor

Here's something to discuss. Apparently, there are whispers going around that Acer and ASUS could potentially merge. Both of these companies hail from Taiwan, and ASUS Chairman Johnny Shih did respond to a question concerning a possible merger between the two, where he mentioned that the industry happens to be in a transition period, and people should keep “an open mind” when it comes to mergers. Shih did have a penchant to talk about organic growth for ASUS in the past, but this is a refreshing turnabout. 

ASUS’ bread and butter, the sales of motherboards, isn’t exactly doing gangbusters, and ASUS seems to focus more on mobile devices recently, so a merger with Acer might benefit both companies. Of course, these are just rumors as at press time, but the market did react favorably to this rumor, with the respective share prices of both companies going up. Via ubergizmo.

I am not pleased with the way in which Asus handles RMA's that are physically damaged. (I am speaking of ones that the customer did not damage but was caused by a defect.) That is also the reason I will not buy Asus products.

That said, I refuse to wish ill will on these companies. Acer makes a descent machine for the cost and Asus makes good products when the stay working. Maybe a merger will fix their issues, we will see.
